Not necessarily.
Imagine this situation.
You're getting loads of messages, especially with a lot of attachments. You can move them to other folders (manually or by filter) or delete them them, but they're still in your inbox, only marked as deleted.
When you don't compress your inbox, that means that it'll grow and grow (and getting rather fragmented too). Now you're saving a message with atachment and your virus scanner comes in the picture. "Hey you're saving sometyhing to this 1 GB file, I've got to scan that." So now we've got two programs accessing the file at same time, the bigger the inbox, the easier you get into problems.

I've been using TB for some four years.
I've go t a message base with more than 100,000 messages and my inbound flow varies between 100 and 700 messages a day. I have neve gotten a corrupted inbox (or any other folder). So TB, when properly maintained, is very capable of keeping its stuff together.

Hi,

This is a bit old topic, but I have come across this "corruption problem" once too often.
I have subfolders in my structure, but the inbox is 600 msgs at the moment. I just lost of message and have to ask to resend the invoice to me once again.

In the past I have worked as a programmer for years, c++, java - that sort of stuff.
I *can not* understand why these messages get corrupted. Let me explain. Ok, say you get a message every hour. Say about 1-100kb. But where is the problem with that? A file can get corrupted if the disc gets corrupt or if you have write-cache enabled on the hdd and a pc crashes... But if a program corrupts a file just because it gets read or written once and hour or what a hell - every second - then it is a bug in the software. isn't it?

Best regards,
Andy

The only hope is to step back to where you were - by moving the "corrupt" messages.tbb file into a safe area, deleting the messages.tbi file and running up TB. It should now see an empty inbox.

Now use the import function to attempt to import messages from the saved tbb file. That should allow you to salvage something.

STOP PRESS: Would you keep your best china / important file in the middle of a highway? Do not store any messages in an Inbox folder on a long term basis. It is a high traffic area, with messages being added and deleted on a daily, if not hourly basis. The safest kind of Inbox is an empty Inbox.

The Bat wouldn't show me my inbox messages in only ONE account (all the rest were fine) so after trying a couple of registry rollbacks with no luck, I renames the Messages.tbb file and let it create a new one, thinking it might "jog" the whole thing into working after I deleted the new blank file and renaming the .tbb file in teh inbox. But now BAT won't find it at all (reads ZERO messages) after I renamed back!  It's THERE but The Bat can't pull it in - WHAT DO I DO?  I run a huge group of people that I need to keep all these mails available, so I MUST get them back.  Thanks if you can help, please e-mail me at webmaster2@bewitched.net

Thanks, Wendy
